The first time I got drunk was at a party in our dorm. (Drinking age was 18 in WI then, so the party was university-sanctioned.) Since I'd never been drunk before, I couldn't tell how wasted I was getting. Plus this cute woman kept refilling my beer glass before I'd finished, so I lost count of how much I'd had.

I was still dating my high school girlfriend at the time (she was a senior in high school). When she found out about me getting drunk, she tried to get a group together to beat me up when I got back home. (This was the same woman who used to get mad at me for not drinking in high school.)

This month is Caribbean Heritage month (not in the Caribbean) and LGBT Pride month, our work mass email informs me. It tells us about a Caribbean born famous person Alexander Hamilton. Since they don't mention where in the Caribbean, I don't feel all special. It does make a difference.

No famous gay people to talk about, but Stonewall Riots get a name check. It's kind of a weird email.

Nevis, but you'd think they'd throw out some more recent examples.

That is a bit of a weird email.

I hit snooze too many times and took too long getting ready and had to race to the airport and forgot I was having to go to the far gates and...my flight was delayed a few minutes. Whew...except I have a short connection in Salt Lake and was hoping to get food! Stupid me.

Also, the kittens figured out how to squeak last night and it was both precious (while watching them) and heartbreaking (while we had the door closed).

I just think they should throw out an actual country, what with us being many different ones and all. Well, we'll see how they handle Europe month.

Har.

You guys, my ears are still full of sand from Saturday.

Oh, my. Did we know Ari Shapiro could do this?

Dude! HOTTT! Thank you, Dana.

Ya think? Yeah, that bugs.

CJ just checked in after the first morning of Summer School. He said he is 20% done with his Biology class already. I told him to balance speed with accruacy. Yes, once you finish the course, you are done - but the point is to get a good grade, so make sure you are doing it right.

I kinda wish I could put him in an online learning class for math and maybe english but in regular school for the rest.

Soccer season just ended. I managed to take some photos in the next to last game. I like in-game photos so much more than posed ones.
